AmigaOS4 Petunia benchmarks : Comment 63 of 80 | ANN.lu |
Posted by BrianK on 20-Aug-2003 16:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 62 (Anonymous): Just to add confusion there are different G3 and G4 chips in the system. Apple doesn't change the name as the chips change.
Apple-Motorola-IBM all have an alliance on PowerPC chips
750 series is what Apple calls the G3.
750FX appears to be in the Apple Ibook and the AmigaOne
750CX appears to be in the Apple IMac and the PegasOS
750GX doesn't appear to be in anything it seems it's sampling but not in production until late 2003. Rumored to be in the next Ibook speed bump.
--- It's in neither AmigaOne nor PegasOS. But rumored to be the next iBook speed up CPU.
745x series is what Apple calls the G4.
7450 appears to be in the Apple G4 Macs, such as the dual 800Mhz, and in the PegasOS.
7455 appears to be in the Apple G4 Macs, such as the dual 1Ghz, and in the AmigaOne.
Apple's Dual 800Mhz 7450 has SpecINT:241 and SpecFPU:146
Apple's Dual 1Ghz 7455 has SpecINT:307 and SpecFPU:188
Thus the 7455 appears to be a minor improvement over the 7450 in FPU processing but in daily use you won't see any pratical difference between an 800Mhz 7450 or 800Mhz 7455.
*****
The overall point really is either G3 or G4 of any lineage is going to kick ass all over my A4000T w/ 604e@233Mhz and 060@50Mhz. But, with a G4 you will see some improvements over the G3 in FPU processing. |
